Noontec ZORO II

Amazon

If you prefer on-ear headphones instead of over-ear headphones, my choice based on comfort is Noontec's Zoro IIs.

They're more compact than most of the headphones on this list and have slim, ultra-soft cushioning all around them. It doesn't hurt that these headphones also sound very good, and use non-traditional headphone colors to help them stand out.

These headphones are endorsed by of two members of the Insider Picks staff.

I wrote about them a few months ago, calling out their excellent audio quality and comfort. Yes, these are big headphones and they have a wire, but if you're looking for headphones to use at your office, they're a great choice.
